The effaced letters can just be read as "John George Joicey Museum", the use of the building before 1994. The lower stone has a Latin inscription which has been translated: "Hospital for poor people by the expense of the citizens and leaders of Newcastle upon Tyne in the year of salvation 1683. Built by Timothy Robson, Mayor, John Squire Sheriff.", followed by 1 Cor. 13:13 "And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity." http://www.timmonet.co.uk/html/body_holy_jesus.htm
